[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 127905, member: 13451"] Your son's diet looks healthy to me. Like Leggott I make all my meals from scratch so I know exactly what's going into them, it's amazing the amount of salt and sugar hiding in convenience meals. When we do pasta for tea I usually serve it with steamed vegetables or a side salad. Also read the labels on yoghurts, some have quite a lot of sugar in them, I buy the natural yoghurt and sweeten it by adding a little maple or agave syrup (or you can sweeten it with honey too). Jess doesn't like her yoghurt too sweet so I can control how much sweetening goes into it and that results in a low sugar yoghurt. Jess also doesn't like milk added to her breakfast cereals, she eats them dry out of the bowl with a glass of milk on the side. She likes dry weetabix with a thin spread of margarine and marmite. Some children's breakfast cereals are shocking with the amount of sugar in them, it's good to see your son likes a healthier type. That's a good HbA1c, well done :) [/QUOTE]
